Mac McGarry arrived at WRC radio Washington in the 1950s. He did
afternoon drive among other things.
Then someone had the idea of a serious high school quiz program on
WRC-TV in which 3-person teams from 2 or 3 high schools competed each
week during the school year. McGarry was host / quizmaster. He still
is - starting the program's 46th season. The Giant grocery chain remains
the sponsor. He also hosted a Baltimore version at one time.
This must be close to a TV record.
